Praise For A Well-Made Bed…

“A Well-Made Bed is a beautifully made story and a modern parable. What happenswhen good people need money—a bunch of money, and fast? You can guess. Noor and Jaycee are friends from opposite sides of the tracks, but their urgent needs push them to consider what seems like a rather low-grade form of mayhem, a simple plan, and practically foolproof. So begins a story that will make you laugh, and shudder, and identify, whether you want to or not.”—Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of The Deep End of the Ocean
